so i don't -- you know, the story of the last two years is that, you know, john boehner, harry reid, barack obama, always find some way to pull a deal out of the fire. so it would be silly to bet against that, but i agree with charles. it's harder in this case to see -- i think you can draw it up on paper, but it's harder to see where the parties come together. the reasonable thing to do would be to say, let's cut the amount we're going to be spending in half and let's agree on doing a little means testing to medicare, which they're both in favor of and let's not get so focused on absolute dollar figures. >> the clock is ticking. gloria, appreciate it, charles and ross, thank you. >> a family lost at sea off the coast of san francisco, and a murder trial making the casey anthony look, well, boring. x-rated evidence, too many lies to count, plus a defendant who won a singing contest from prison. it's all bizarre. we'll be right back. concerns as we age. it has 7 antioxidants to support cell health. one a day men's 50+. i have to know the weather patterns. i upgraded to the new sprint

today, harry reid said the republicans are protecting the demands of the special interest groups not agreeing to close tax loopholes to pay for spending. he called for tax reform, and, basically, said that the president wants to close these loopholes to pay for more spending or pay down the deficit. republicans want to deal with tax reform, and this is the first bill passed in the new house with the hr1 tag, the coveted first spot in the house. that's tax reform to get rid of some loopholes and lower tax rates. there's the continued argument there. the bottom line, heading into tomorrow, when the automatic spending cuts take place, you may have congressional leaders at the white house. the senate votes later today, but there is zero movement towards a bipartisan compromise to get it done. nothing is beginning to get through the senate today, and it doesn't seem like anything soon will either. back to you. dagen: rich, thank you for that on capitol hill. connell: more in a few minutes, but shifting gears to another story on fox business, jpmorgan chase holding $2.3 trillion in assets,
